Super work Darlene and one of these days I'd like to sit down and talk with you about this. For instance, were you using Photoshop? Hue and saturation? If you get time please email me at peterdud@iinet.net.au. I am always interested in other people's methods and techniques and we can maybe swop a few ideas here. While I've got you, very many thanks for writing in my Guilderton guest book yesterdsy. It was indeed a nice way to spend a warm spring afternoon although as I didn't even dangle a toe into the ocean I couldn't say what the temperature of it was - but certainly those youngsters seemed to be enjoying it. rather them than me! Hugs, Peter

Hello Darlene, thanks for adding the originals. The "Flight of Fancy" pictures are fasanating but some are so psychedelic that I couldn't "see" the image. Great concept. Ed/Albuquerque

Hi Dar. Now that you've added the originals I think it's fantastic. If it's not good enough to deserve a feature I'll.......think of something. lol. I love it mate and I'm not sorry I gave you that extra work. Did you add more than just the originals? There seems to be more than the other day. Thankyou my friend. Catch you later. Hugs Al..

said csfoto 2005.10.26 at 07:33:48 PDT

Me again Dar - Are the original photos for this in any one particular album, or scattered through Fall albums ? I'd like to see them side-by-side : the originals by the fancied. My favorites are : 2, 4, 7, 10, 11, 12, 18, 24, 25, 28, 32, & 34. Love - Pat

Hi Darlene! You are so talented and I love this album. Sorry you have been having so many rainy days out there. Did you get snow yesterday? I hope you weren't out playing around near Lake Placid again. :-)) What beautiful photo ops that would be though. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Sharon

said sharonmyphotos 2005.10.26 at 05:48:58 PDT

Darlene - I understand about the no photo ops. I am headed into the BORING time of year here - everything dead, grey, brown ... At least back Home y'all get SNOW !! LOL !! These are neat. I may have to do some playing myself this Winter ! Thanks for the inspiration & sharing ! Love & Hugs - Pat

said msphotospy 2005.10.26 at 05:43:32 PDT

Awh, rainy day fun. You've created some really pretty flights of fancy in these gorgeous Autumn Hues. Hope it rains for a few more days, I really enjoyed this album and look forward to additions. Lorrie

said sodapop90 2005.10.26 at 04:37:14 PDT

Hi Dar. What you've done here is very interesting. If it keeps raining and you do some more may I suggest you add the original shot as well. I picked a couple of favorites and they are both photos of the same place. They are numbers 1 and 38. I think they are pretty cool. Catch you later mate. Hugs Al..

ok, i just did that and sent it before someone beat me to it but i'm still first and a great album to be first to sign too. this is truly, truly an album worth coming back to again and again. you have to be artistic to manipulate your photos to the extent that they're as beautiful as they were in their original form or probably in some cases with these wonders even better. i'm glad you're stuck in the house because you came up with some real works of art here. sweet. george-

Honoured to be first. My comments will not be negative.... Great idea. Have you tried Solarizing for a slightly different effect. Best regards... Lloyd
